The winter midi is a wardrobe staple and, with this magical £18 number from Primark, you can forget about buying any other dress for the seasonal fun as it will work for every single occasion, says Abby McHale.
Here’s how you can dress or all your festive days out with the midi from Primark.
LAST-DITCH attempt to hook up with friends before the new year?
Pop a sparkly jumper over your dress to turn it into what looks like a top and skirt combination.
The belt helps to add some shape and you can finish with a pair of cream knee-length boots and smart handbag for a comfy lunch outfit which looks fantastic.
A DRESS like this is a great wardrobe staple for you to throw on in any circumstance.
If you’re making a final dash into town to pick up some presents, chuck it on with a pair of trainers.
The shops can be really hot and stuffy so, rather than adding a thick coat, opt for a gilet and simply add a hat and scarf when racing between stores.
PEP yourself up for the big day by adding a glitzy jumper and cute headband.
The elasticated waistband on the dress is ideal if you intend to stuff yourself with pigs in blankets.
And if you think you might be on your feet lots, then wear a pair of fancy flats — ballet-style shoes are everywhere at the moment and very comfortable.
ADD some layers to your dress to keep you cosy on a winter walk.
A sweater vest will give you the warmth of a jumper without making arms too bulky, and this padded coat from M&S has “clever Stormwear technology”, which makes it water-repellent and breathable.
Wear some chunky boots — an essential piece of kit for strolls at this time of year.
THIS dress is perfect for the office if you add a blazer, and will look equally appropriate in the pub afterwards if you’re heading out for festive drinks.
The yellow jacket from River Island is bang on trend this season and also brings out the pattern in the dress.
And the long boots and handbag keep things formal enough for work.
OF course you can also let the dress do the talking by keeping it as the main focus and just accessorising for a glam evening look.
Add chunky gold jewellery and some sparkly shoes to really make a statement.
Complete the look with this glittery metallic shoulder bag with gold chain detail.
